We're often told that a glass of red wine is good for our health, but a vino-loving fitness coach has given a whole new meaning to the claim.

More than 25 million people have viewed April Storey's unique exercise technique on Facebook, in which she uses bottles of wine for bicep curls and rewards lunges and press-ups with a cheeky sip.

With the 90s Vengaboys hit Up And Down playing, April - thought to be from the US - can first be seen performing shoulder exercises grasping a bottle of red in each hand - and wearing a T-shirt bearing the slogan 'Will Run for Wine'.

More than 25 million people have viewed April Storey's unique exercise technique on Facebook. The health coach is believed to be from the US

In her first - and most popular video - she can be seen exercising with wine bottles while wearing a T-shirt bearing the slogan 'Will Run for Wine'

She can then be seen completing press-ups with her head above a glass of wine with a straw in and, as she lowers herself towards the floor with her arms, she takes a swig of the drink.

Mother-of-one April, who has documented her dramatic weight loss journey on her Instagram page, is then seen using the bottles as weights for bicep curls.

Terra LaFleur commented: 'That's the only workout I can make it through.'

Janine Richardson wrote: 'Awesome, I should have thought of that yesterday before I went to an actual gym!'

Gilda Grigolo said: 'I think I just found my inspiration!'

The video posted to Facebook has been met with a sea of appreciation from wine lovers across the globe

Meanwhile Angela M Drake suggested there was a more scientific reason for using wine in a workout. 'You've gotta get your heart rate up so the alcohol gets into your blood stream quicker and so the calories don't go directly to your ass. It's the new way to drink.'

But Clover Sierra claimed the technique could actually have a very adverse impact on your health.

'Actually, drinking alcohol while working out is a very bad idea. It increases your heart attack risk because it dehydrates you at a rapid rate and when you're already breaking a sweat your heart rate increases either more,' she said.

Her comments were among the many criticisms of the video among an overwhelming sea of appreciation online.

But there were many who were quick to highlight the health and safety implications of the exercise technique, or simply the impact it would have on the taste of the wine

Some people were quick to highlight the dangers of working out above a wine glass, such as Sharon Hawkins, who wrote: 'Push-ups like that are good... until she drunkenly loses her balance over the glass, crashes into it face-first and needs stitches.'

Meanwhile, others were simply worried about the impact of the exercise on the taste of the wine.

Andrew Sunwood said: 'Your hands in the shoulder and tricep workout would heat up the wine... Don't do that to your wine.'

Angel Howard added: 'Shaking that wine around made me cringe. Please don't do this to your dear wine. It never did anything to you.'
